BIRTHDAY PATTY.
the family.

A goodly number of the friends
and acquaintance of Miss Emma
f. French met at her home last Sat-
urday evening, to congratulate her
on the happy event of an eighteenth
birthday. 1t was complete surprise
to the young lady, who was at the
singing school the first part of the
evening and was only appraised of the
gathering whan she arrived at her
home. The company brought with
them bountiful supply of refresh
ments and presented Miss French
with valuable dress pattern. The
evening was spent in pleasant, so.
cial manner and all seemed happy.
The occasion was one that will be
long remembered by the young lady
and reflects much credit upon those
who proposed and carried it out SC
nicely.

The weather has been changable
and unpleasant most of the time dur.
ing the past week. There has been
several light snow storms, also rain
and hail, which with the dark, cloudy
weather between times has made il
dull ana gloomy as possible. Inc
sun has hardly shown his face, when
he did SO he would shyly peep from
behind cloud, then drop a heavy
veil over his face before one scarcely
had time to greet him. Possibly he
is getting ready for Thanksgiving

A Printers Search for Keyhoie.
Another one of those old time typos lin
gered down town one morning among
convivial spirits long after the Zig was
up, and when he finally got started west
ward-it seems to me that all the printers
in town live on the west side-it was
broad daylight, and the east bound cars
were crowded with people who hadn't the
faintest idea of what it was to work all
night, He lived on Madison street, and
when he reached his home he tried for
several minutes to adjust his key to the
keyhole, but couldn't strike the combina-
ton. Every half minute a car loaded
with people passed by and everybody
laughed at him. Then cunning idea
struck him. He went calmly down in his
pocket, got match, lighted it, held it up
to the keyhole, inserted the key, unlocked
the door and stalked dignifiedly in, while
an irrepressible shout went up from car
that was passing. Daylight might be
good enough for some, but he needed a
little extra illumination. He was used to
artificial light. Chicago Mail.
